Pretty Little Liars

Pre-Face

I was staring at the sky while I was sitting in the pool lounge at Alison DiLaurentis' home.

"Emily!" Alison shouted wearing the white bikini with red polka dots that we bought when our families went on vacation together to L.A. I don't remember what store it was from, but I remember that it was from Rodeo Drive. "Stop swimming! You're beating yourself up, practising for that stupid race tomorrow! Come tan with us, have some fun!"

"I can't! I'm sorry, Ali I can't flake out now, I've been preparing all year for this!" said Emily Fields.

"Emily, do you want to waste your summer vacation? Get out of the pool!" Ali said.

"Ugh, fine, but if I lose then I'll tell everyone about what happened, and I'll say that you did it first!" Emily whispered to Alison.

Alison laughed. She got up and leaned towards Emily. "Do you really think you're capable of beating me? I don't think that you are going to do that!" Alison said.

Emily looked down. She was ashamed. She sighed and looked from side to side, then reluctantly pulled herself from the water.

"I thought so." Alison smiled a sarcastic smile then sat back down.

She was laying on her towel on Alison's green freshly mowed grass.

"Hanna, can you go and get Spencer, I can see the car in the driveway." Alison said.

"It's your house, Ali, you do it." I said.

Alison gave me her famous dirty look that she uses whenever she's getting angry.

I groaned and got up.

Alison cleared her throat. "What was that, Hanna? Do you want to stay or be kicked out?" she said.

"Sorry Alison." I said sarcastically, but not enough that you could tell.

"Good," Alison smiled. "So we're clear."

I could see Emily looking almost scared. Emily was mouthing the word, "Spencer." to me. She was behind Ali.

"So next time you even think of talking back to me just remember what I have on you." she smirked.

"Don't talk to Hanna like that!" Spencer said. "What happened?"

"Why don't you ask, little miss vomit over here." Alison asked.

My heart started pounding. The blood started rushing to my head. "Don't, Ali!" I said.

"Alison! What's going on?" Spencer asked.

"Guys! Please just stop! By the words of Alison, do you want to waste the summer vacation." Emily said.

"Fine. Sit down Spence." Alison said. She was patting my seat.

"Alison, that's my-" she cut me off. Alison cleared her throat. I sighed and sat next to Emily.

"Don't you just want to-" I stopped. "Nevermind."

"What? Do you ever want to do what?" Emily said.

I sighed. I looked at Ali who was talking to Spencer, not paying any attention to us what so ever.

"Hey, guys" said Aria as she sat down next to me.

"Hey Aria." I said. I glared at Ali. "Don't you just want to kill her?" I said.

"Literally kill Ali, as in murder?" Emily asked.

"Well, yeah, in a weird way. You know what I mean? She's just a huge bi-a-tch." I said.

"Well, yeah I do sometimes. But kill is a pretty big word. I know she can be a bi-a-tch, but she's still our friend." Aria said.

"Yeah, I know, but sometimes, I just feel like I'm giving more than her, like, we tell her everything, and she doesn't tell us anything, only what to do." I said. "I mean, for example who does she always text secretly and why is she always giggling and not telling us why?"

"Well, maybe she just giggles for no reason I do sometimes." Emily said.

"Yeah, but what if she's… Maybe she's dating someone secretly." I said. "Maybe Spencer knows something, I mean Ali talks to her more than us sometimes!" Aria said.

All three of us looked at each other then at Ali and Spencer giggling.
